Ten years prior, this was a squash match on WWE Velocity. At this point in history, it featured the face of the company vs. the face of vocal fan, for the richest prize in the game. And given the principals involved, it still managed to exceed expectations.

It'd probably be more fondly remembered if not for the "rug-pull" ending of Triple H and Randy Orton ruining Bryan's moment, but alas. Bonus points go to Cena for working the match with a gruesome triceps tear, one that looked like a tennis ball was sewn into his elbow.
